JmIRC

Simple explanation of jmIrc options

• Configuration
  • Nick: This is the unique nickname you will use in IRC
  • Alternative nick: This is tried automatically if nick is in use, can be left empty
  • IRC server: Hostname of the server you will connect to
  • IRC server port: TCP port of the used IRC server, usually 6667 is a safe bet
  • Channels: Channels you want to join to automatically after connecting, separated with comma (',')
  • Real name: Your real name shown to other IRC users who ask for it
• Advanced
  • Use status header: You can choose if you want to show the status header on top of screen by default or not
  • Use timestamp: You can choose if you want to show the timestamp on all windows by default or not
  • Use socket poll: Set this only if it doesn't work otherwise, ie. on Motorola V525, Nokia 6800, 6810, 7200 or Samsung C100
  • Use mIRC colours: Set this if you want to show mIRC colours and other text features on channels
  • Print unhandled input: Print unhandled server input to status window for debugging reasons
  • Automatically detect UTF-8: Validate all input first as UTF-8 and use encoding just as a fallback. With this option a channel can have two character sets that work correctly.
  • Always output UTF-8: With this option you always output UTF-8 regardless of chosen encoding, useful with automatic detect
  • Character encoding: ISO-8859-1 is the usual encoding used, but you can also choose from other codepages
  • Backbuffer lines: Sets the maximum lines in backbuffer per window, too large value can make the phone run out of memory
  • Highlight string: The string you want to use for highlighting, usually this is your own nick
  • Server password: This is for IRC servers that need a password, usually useful with IRC bouncers
